Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen wassergekühlten Zylinderkopf für eine Brennkraftmaschine, mit einem Aufnahmeschacht zur Aufnahme eines Nockenwellenantriebsorgans, insbesondere einer Steuerkette.The invention relates to a water-cooled cylinder head for an internal combustion engine, with a receiving shaft for receiving a camshaft drive element, especially a timing chain.

Die im Motorblock- sowie im Zylinderkopfbereich eines Motors anfallende Abwärme wird üblicherweise durch einen geschlossenen, und über einen Wärmetauscher (Kühler) laufenden Kühlwasserkreislauf an die Umgebung abgeführt. Die Umwälzung des Kühlwassers kann durch eine Kühlwasserpumpe unterstützt werden, die vorzugsweise durch die Brennkraftmaschine selbst, beispielsweise über einen Antriebsriemen, angetrieben wird. Die Einbindung des Wärmetauschers in den Kühlwasserkreislauf kann über Rohr- und Schlauchleitungen erfolgen. Im Hinblick auf eine möglichst rasche Erwärmung des Motors auf eine günstige Betriebstemperatur ist es möglich, im Rahmen einer Motorstartphase den Wärmetauscher solange zu überbrücken, bis das über einen "kleinen" Kühlwasserkreislauf zirkulierende Kühlwasser eine vorgegebene Temperatur erreicht hat. Das Schließen der den Wärmetauscher überbrückenden Kühlwasserleitung sowie das Freischalten des über den Wärmetauscher führenden Kühlwasserweges erfolgt vorzugsweise thermostatgesteuert. Die außerhalb des Motors verlaufenden Rohr- oder Schlauchleitungen sind in erhöhtem Maße äußeren Einwirkungen ausgesetzt und erweisen sich auch im Hinblick auf die bei deren Einbau erforderliche fachmännische Montagetechnik als kostenträchtig.The waste heat generated in the engine block and cylinder head area of an engine is usually through a closed, and through a heat exchanger (Cooler) running cooling water circuit discharged to the environment. The upheaval of the cooling water can be supported by a cooling water pump which preferably by the internal combustion engine itself, for example via a Drive belt that is driven. The integration of the heat exchanger in the Cooling water circuit can be done via pipe and hose lines. With regard for the engine to warm up as quickly as possible to a favorable operating temperature it is possible to use the heat exchanger as part of an engine start phase to bridge until a "small" cooling water circuit circulating cooling water has reached a predetermined temperature. The closing the cooling water pipe bridging the heat exchanger and the isolation the cooling water path leading via the heat exchanger is preferably carried out thermostatic switch. The pipe or outside the engine Hose lines are exposed to external influences to an increased extent prove themselves also with regard to the professional necessary for their installation Assembly technology as costly.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Brennkraftmaschine zu schaffen, bei welcher eine günstige Wasserführung des Kühlwasserkreislaufes unter einem verminderten montagetechnischen Aufwand erreicht wird.

Dadurch wird es auf vorteilhafte Weise möglich, die Länge freiliegender Leitungen, beispielsweise flexibler Schläuche, zu vermindern. In weiterhin vorteilhafter Weise wird eine Vergleichmäßigung des Temperaturprofiles des Zylinderkopfes erreicht, da durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung auch der Stirnwandbereich des Zylinderkopfes in den Kühlwasserkreislauf integriert ist. In weiterhin vorteilhafter Weise wird eine höhere Bauraumfreiheit, eine Reduktion potentieller Undichtigkeitsstellen sowie eine steifere Gestaltung des Stirnbereiches des Zylinderkopfes erreicht. Auch unter akustischen Gesichtspunkten erweist sich die erfindungsgemäße Lösung als besonders vorteilhaft, da durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Stirnwand auch eine verbesserte Schallabkoppelung erreicht wird. Aufgrund der in vorteilhafter Weise verbesserten Kühleigenschaften des Zylinderkopfes wird gegenüber bisherigen Konstruktionen eine erhöhte Leistungsdichte erreicht.This advantageously enables the length of exposed lines, for example, flexible hoses. In a further advantageous manner the temperature profile of the cylinder head is evened out, since the solution according to the invention also the end wall region of the cylinder head is integrated in the cooling water circuit. In a further advantageous manner a greater freedom of installation space, a reduction in potential leakage points and achieved a more rigid design of the end region of the cylinder head. Even under From an acoustic point of view, the solution according to the invention proves to be particularly advantageous because of the configuration of the end wall according to the invention improved sound decoupling is also achieved. Because of the more advantageous Way improved cooling properties of the cylinder head is compared previous designs achieved an increased power density.

Eine gemäß einem besonderen Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung, insbesondere mit Blick auf eine besonders hohe Strukturfestigkeit, vorteilhafte Ausführungsform ist dadurch gegeben, daß die Schacht-Stirnwand integral mit dem Zylinderkopf ausgebildet ist und der Kühlwasserkanal sich vorzugsweise im wesentlichen quer zur Längsrichtung des Zylinderkopfes erstreckt.One according to a particular aspect of the present invention, in particular with a view to a particularly high structural strength, advantageous embodiment is given by the fact that the shaft end wall is integral with the cylinder head is formed and the cooling water channel is preferably substantially transverse extends to the longitudinal direction of the cylinder head.

In a further advantageous manner, it is thereby possible, the outward-facing wall of the cooling water channel as a heat exchanger surface to use.

Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich der Kühlwasserkanal im wesentlichen über die gesamte Breite des Zylinderkopfes. Hierdurch wird es möglich, durch den Zylinderkopf selbst eine im wesentlichen die Gesamtbreite des Motors überbrückende Leitungseinrichtung bereitzustellen.Preferably, the cooling water channel extends essentially over the entire width of the cylinder head.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung eignet sich insbesondere für Zylinderköpfe mit zwei obenliegenden Nockenwellen. Diese Nockenwellen sind vorzugsweise durch hälftig in dem Zylinderkopf ausgebildete Lagersitze gelagert. Die zylinderkopfseitigen Abschnitte der Lagersitze beider Nockenwellen liegen unterhalb einer, durch die Achsen der beiden Nockenwellen definierten Lagerachsenebene. Die Schacht-Stirnwand erstreckt sich vorzugsweise zwischen dieser Lagerachsenebene und dem Zylinderkopf/Motorblock-Sitzflächenbereich. Hierdurch wird es möglich, den durch die Schacht-Stirnwand gebildeten Schacht oben durch einen Ventildeckel oder Nockenwellengehäuse sowie unten durch den Motorblock abzudecken.The solution according to the invention is particularly suitable for cylinder heads with two overhead camshafts. These camshafts are preferably in half bearing seats formed in the cylinder head.

Der Kühlwasserkanal erstreckt sich vorzugsweise bis zu einer Thermostat-Anschlußflanschfläche. Diese Thermostat-Anschlußflanschfläche ist vorzugsweise durch eine spanabhebende Bearbeitung an dem Zylinderkopf ausgebildet. Im Bereich dieser Thermostat-Anschlußfläche erfolgt vorzugsweise eine thermostatgesteuerte Verzweigung der Kühlwasserwege. Der durch die Schachtstirnwand verlaufende Kühlwasserkanal bildet hierbei vorzugsweise einen Kühler-Bypasskanal über welchen insbesondere während einer Kaltstartphase ein definierter Kühlwasserstrom unter Umgehung des eigentlichen Wärmetauschers zur Wasserpumpe zurückgeführt werden kann.The cooling water channel preferably extends to a thermostat connecting flange surface.
